Under target There is difficulty in
collecting the data on the number of people counseled
because RHU midwives in some sites do not conduct
regular monitoring and reporting in some sites
resulting to incomplete data. Other factors include late
submission of reports causing underreporting of
accomplishments and inactive PHE APEs not
reporting. Collection of reports is ongoing and data
that will be collected will be added in the next quarter
report.

CPR data seems to be very unreliable. Some
municipalities are reporting very high increases while
other municipalities report very steep declines.
Interestingly, target sites with established cost
recovery systems report a 19 increase in CPR, while
target sites with no cost- recovery systems
established reported a 17 increase in CPR. Further,
Hilongos, which has no trained PHE CBDs, showed
a 14 increase in CPR. There seems to be rampant
inaccuracies in data collection for this indicator.
Therefore, BALANCED- Philippines staff will check
data to determine the reason for large variances in CPR
calculations.

Estimated number of fishers in LIG is 1000 persons. If fishers and municipalities choose to pilot a managed access regime, then the number benefiting will be the number of fishers granted exclusive access rights. If it is for the reef fishery only, the actual number will be less than 1000
as the number of reef fishers has yet not determined, and will be baselined in Year1.

In a process oriented livelihoods approach, the number of targeted beneficiaries will be determined as part of the planning conducted with LGUs in Year1. However, given budget considerations, order of magnitude approximation will be in hundreds 100-300, not thousands of
households. Number of households benefiting from conservation incentive-based enterprises gender disaggregated and by number of these people also involved in FPRH activities includes those households where a member has participated in diversified livelihood interventions including
training, value chain improvements, etc. TBD once livelihood strategies designed w LGUs but estimated at 30 per municipality X 5 = 150 households

I. INTRODUCTION The United States Agency for International DevelopmentPhilippines USAIDPhilippines is
providing a US1,300,000 Buy-in to the USAID Washington-funded BALANCED Building Actors and Leaders for Advancing Excellence in Community Development
Project to support results-oriented population, health and environment PHE field activities in biodiversity-rich
bioregions of the Philippines over the period from December 2010 to August 2013. Funding is from two sources from within USAIDPhilippines: The Office of HealthOH 500,000 for
family planning and outreach components Intermediate ResultsIRs 1, 2 and 3, and Office of Energy, Environment and Climate ChangeOEECC 800,000 for outreach, fisheries
management and livelihood components IRs 4 5 and some contributions to IR3. OH activities commenced in December of 2010 and will run through December 2012, with
supplemental funding being considered to extend support to IRs 1 to 3 through August 2013. OEECC-supported activities began in December 2011 and will run through August 2013. The
Coastal Resources Center CRC at the University of Rhode Island URI, with PATH Foundation Philippines, Inc. PFPI and Conservation InternationalPhilippines CIP are the
implementing agents for BALANCED-Philippines Project. The goal of the BALANCED- Philippines Project is to build the leadership and implementation capacities of national and local
governments and stakeholders to respond in an integrated manner to interrelated population, health, and marine environmental issues. This goal is achieved through the following IRs:
IR1 - Improved access to family planningreproductive health services in key bioregions OH IR2 - Increased community awareness and support of family planning and conservation as a
means to improve health, food security and natural resources OH IR3 - Increased policy makers commitment to FPRH services, CRM and integrated policies
OH OEECC IR4 - Improved governance capacities of provincial and municipal LGUs in the VIP and
Danajon Bank marine ecosystems OEECC IR5. - Increased incentives for coastal and marine conservation among coastal fisher households
OEECC The BALANCED-Philippines Project goal and intermediate results contribute to
USAIDPhilippines priority goal of “Investing in People to Reduce Poverty” and also to the USAIDOH Strategic Objective of sustainably achieving improved family health and the Family
PlanningReproductive Health FPRH Objective of achieving desired family size. The Project is also in line with the current U.S. Country Assistance Strategy with respect to assistance
directed at reducing threats to biodiversity. The BALANCED-Philippines Project will also contribute to achieving Intermediate Result 1, “Natural Resources and Environmental Services
Improved” under Objective 1, “Broad Based and Inclusive Growth Sustained” of the proposed results framework for the planned USAIDPhilippines Mission’s Country Development
Cooperation Strategy.
With support from USAIDOH, family planning activities are being implemented in Verde Island Passage VIP sites where ongoing coastalfisheries management activities have yet to be
integrated with FPRH herein called “new” sites, and Danajon Bank bioregions to improve and
6 maintain PHE initiatives that were implemented by PFPI under previous PHE projects herein
referred to as “maintenance” sites. Through additional support from USAIDOEECC, the Project incorporated coastal resources management CRM activities in select BALANCED-
Philippines sites. This report summarizes the activities completed by BALANCED-Philippines during the
reporting period April 1 to June 30, 2012 as per terms and conditions as approved in the Year 2 work plan and Cooperative Agreement No. GPO-A-00-08-00002-00.
II. PROJECT RESULTS From April 1 to June 30 2012, BALANCED-Philippines continued working with local
